  SAP Error Message: WAB023
  Message Text:
  
  Posting with posting rule &1(&2): sales posting &3, condition posting &4
  
  1. Cause
  This message typically occurs during the posting process in SAP's Sales and Distribution (SD) or Financial Accounting (FI) integration, specifically when the system tries to determine the correct posting keys and accounts for revenue or condition postings.
  
  The system is trying to post a sales document using a posting rule (identified by &1 and &2).
  It encounters a mismatch or inconsistency between the sales posting (&3) and the condition posting (&4).
  This usually means that the posting rule configuration does not correctly map the sales posting to the condition posting, or the condition type is not properly assigned to a posting key/account in the pricing procedure or account determination.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Posting Rules Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction VKOA (or SPRO path: Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Account Assignment/Costing ? Revenue Account Determination ? Maintain Posting Rules).
  Verify the posting rule &1 (&2) mentioned in the error.
  Ensure that the sales posting (&3) and condition posting (&4) are correctly assigned and consistent.
  
  
  
  Verify Condition Types and Account Determination:
  
  Check the condition type used in the sales document pricing procedure.
  Ensure that the condition type is assigned to the correct posting key and G/L account in the account determination procedure.
  Use transaction VKOA or OBYC (for FI account determination) to verify the mappings.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type.
  Make sure the condition types in the pricing procedure have proper account keys and posting rules assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Customer and Material Master Data:
  
  Sometimes, missing or incorrect account assignment groups in customer or material master can cause this error.
  Verify that the account assignment groups are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, enable debugging or check application logs to identify where the mismatch occurs.
